Let's not take this laying down

[editor-surveyor]

The conservative pretense is over at KFBK

[Fruitbat]

I guess they're going for that more lucrative liberal programming!

Ahh, we have open lines. Where's the number. Oh, here it is, ... silly me. Do we have any callers? (H'yuk!)

No Alec, no one seems to want to listen to your horsecrap.

[CAluvdubya]

So, is Tom Sullivan still there? (or do I have the wrong station?)

Way to go Grittin and Reed (son's surgeon) and way to go Granite Bay! (used to live there)

Did KFBK get bought out by someone or something? They are a very conservative area so this is just stupid!

[kingu]

Me thinks you're targeting the wrong level. Who owns this station - not who makes day to day decisions at the station, but who picks up the phone and people's heads end up disconnected from their bodies rolling down the hill? Because that is who needs to be contacted.

The station manager who made this decision should be fired, but even better, is the owner losing money by it becoming a 'moderate/liberal' crap fest. Then the opinion of the station manager means nothing because his paycheck will be taken to pay for the damage.

Least that's my viewpoint on it. I'm glad the guy is pro military, but it doesn't mean a rip in the long run if he's hired back at a station where they're ready to fire him. Time for him to find better anchorage.

Oh, and you might want to call other stations in the area, and offer to switch your listenership if they hire him on. Because it sincerely sounds like you are.

[CAluvdubya]

oops Griffin!

Let's just let capitalism work its natural magic. KFBK will die a natural death, and rightfully so... Unlike Terry Schaivo, this death will actually be self inflicted and well deserved.

[editor-surveyor]

"So, is Tom Sullivan still there?"

Yes, but Sullivan is no conservative, except for his fiscal outlook; otherwise, as for social issues, he is pro-gay, including some form of 'marriage' and thinks that illegal immigrants should be given amnesty.

[Randy Larsen]

I've noticed lately that Tom Sullivan has gone wishy washy also!

I'm done with KFBK, Hope Rush hears of this!

[hedgetrimmer]

Let's just let capitalism work its natural magic.

Thats the problem. The senators and congressmen who voted for the Telecommunications Act of 1996 were bought out so that the media could be concentrated in the hands of internationalist corporations. THEY don't want balance, THEY don't want the American people to have an American viewpoint, it interferes with their push for multiculturalism and globalism. The capitalists in this case are working their 'magic' and they are eliminating any opposing voices to the globalist view.

[editor-surveyor]

"Oh, and you might want to call other stations in the area, and offer to switch your listenership if they hire him on."

The problem with that idea is that KFBK is the most powerful station in the western US. It can be heard from Shasta to Bakersfield. None of the other Sac stations can be heard easily outside of Sacramento county.

They might as well run the Tom Daschle Show.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

A sad day indeed. I used to listen to Rush on that station before he went national.
Has the Sacramento area gone that liberal? Well I know it's the state capital. But the central valley is a fairly red voting area as a block.
Stop listening to the station.
Advertizers pull the pin like this piece mentions. Make them feel the pain in the pocket book. Best way to deal with this in a capitalistic society.

[SierraWasp]

I strongly suspect that Mrs. Sullivan's little boy Tommy was "embarrassed" by Mark and his somewhat rabid sounding rants. I think I'm gonna boycott Tommy who even thought he could be an apprentice for Donald Trump for Pete's sake!!! Phhhhht!!!

Sullivan is good, but he's an intermittant RINO and way, WAY too in love with Schwartzenegger and another failed candidate for Governor, horsewhipped by Gray Davis... Mrs. Lundgren's little boy Danny!!!

The capitalists in this case are working their 'magic' and they are eliminating any opposing voices to the globalist view.

This is all we can ask and pray for. Capitalism and Freedom will win the day in the end. Our society is far too spoiled with the good life and will not be willing to relinquish it, nevermind the pathetic speeches from the b.s. global warming alarmists.

[Drango]

Griffin & Reed Eye Care, which pays for on-air media endorsements (including Williams') has pulled all advertisements from KFBK.

This is the only thing that counts. Calling the station people don't work. CALL THE ADVERTISERS!

Way to go Griffith and Reed (son's surgeon) and way to go Granite Bay! (used to live there) I still live in Granite Bay, have the house on the market in order to move to AZ. Also, Tom Sullivan lives in the neighborhood and his house is also on the market, but I doubt he's leaving Sacramento. I'm also social freinds with Dr. Reed and have met Mark Williams twice. That being said, the political dynamics of Sacramento County leans liberal, however Placer County; where Granite Bay is located is one of the strongest Republican counties in the state, perhaps the stongest. The state as a whole is what bothers me the most. We decided to move when the state decided to spend $6 billion it did not have on stem cell research. At that point we figured that we would never align with the state majority in our lifetimes and move elsewhere. The radio industry will have to figure whether it wants to make money or advance agenda. Nobody is making us listen, and I plan to not listen to KFBK in the evening any longer. So where did you leave Granite Bay for?

Oh, I did not live in Granite Bay, I lived in Live Oak in Sutter county. Then moved to Placer county outside of Lincoln. Moved away after a divorce and now Pastor a church in Florida.
Glad to be out of the California thing. And I am a native of Los Angeles...lol.

[CAluvdubya]

I had forgotten how Sullivan is on all issues but financial.
